In three lines
- NONOL LIVE has the full-length version of Hanlim's session.
- The four songs are '그거면 돼요', '주말에 비 온대', '딱히' and 'I CAN'T'.
- The first three titles are exactly the way people speak.
Titles built the way people talk
Line the titles up in order and it looks like this.
| Order | Song |
|---|---|
| 1 | 그거면 돼요 |
| 2 | 주말에 비 온대 |
| 3 | 딱히 |
| 4 | I CAN'T |
'그거면 돼요' (that's enough for me), '주말에 비 온대' (they say it'll rain this weekend), '딱히' (not particularly). All three come straight out of everyday conversation. There's no trace of poetic tidying.
'딱히' isn't even a sentence. It's a single adverb with whatever follows it left off. It never says what isn't particularly what.
Trailing off is a common move in Korean conversation. Sometimes not saying everything is the more accurate option. Used as a title, that blur stays intact.
Why only the last one is in English
The first three are colloquial Korean and only the last is 'I CAN'T'.
It could have been written '못 하겠어'. Left in English instead. Same meaning, but in Korean the feeling attaches more directly. In English it stands one layer off.
So at the point where the most force is needed, the song steps back instead. Three songs of speaking comfortably, and a register change only at the end.
Singing colloquially at the playground
NONOL LIVE keeps the stage and the audience close. Lyrics written the way people talk work especially well at that distance.
Heard up close, the line between singing and speaking blurs. Lyrics like these end up somewhere between the two. In a large venue that fine point doesn't carry.
That there's almost no editing works here too. The breaths and hesitations in the spoken-sounding passages stay in. For colloquial lyrics, that isn't a loss.
Today, like this
Play this session at low volume. Songs sung like speech turn awkward when they're loud.
I'd suggest not looking up the lyrics. Hearing what you hear is the distance this song intends. It's fine not to catch all of it.
'주말에 비 온대' is a good title for a day like today. Most people have had a summer weekend where one weather forecast rearranged the plan.
A new song has arrived at the playground today.
